Just when Shen Zhiyi was surprised, he clearly heard a word coming out of Ji Qingyi's mouth.

"Row."

Hearing this, Xue Yunmeng's originally raised mouth corners seemed to be pulled back by an invisible hand. Her eyes were as big as copper bells. She felt that there was something wrong with her ears and asked again: "You... what did you say?"

Ji Qingyi looked serious and solemn as he repeated, "I said, OK."

At this moment, Xue Yunmeng felt like he was struck by lightning and was completely stunned.

The expression on her face was like she had eaten bitter melon and been choked by chili peppers. It was as exciting as it could be. She was like a headless fly, looking here and there, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, and she was almost spinning in circles.

After a long while, she finally managed to stammer out, "I... I suddenly remembered... I have to go check their pulses."

After saying that, he ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only Ji Qingyi was left standing there in a daze.

"Qingyi, you just said yes?" Shen Zhiyi looked at Ji Qingyi with a little doubt.

Ji Qingyi seemed not to hear him and ignored him, just silently continuing to pack up the four treasures of the study in his hands.

After finishing cleaning up, he looked at Shen Zhiyi and said calmly, "I'll go check the cause of their poisoning. You stay here with Xier and don't worry about other things."

The tone was so calm, as if nothing had happened, which confused Shen Zhiyi.

Ji Qingyi was about to leave when Shen Zhiyi grabbed him and said, "Qingyi, please help me stay here and watch over Ah Xi for a while."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll go see Jiang Shun." After Shen Zhiyi said that, he ran towards where Jiang Shun was like a gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhiyi arrived in front of Jiang Shun. Looking at Jiang Shun who was still conscious, he hurriedly said, "Rest well, you will be detoxified in a while. Don't worry."

Although the words were short, they flowed into Jiang Shun's heart like a warm current.

Because just now, Jiang Qu came to tell him that the master had ordered the medicine to be dissolved and distributed to everyone. At that moment, Jiang Shun knew that he also had a place in the master's heart.

The master still came to see the girl even though she was in such a condition. He must care about her very much. Jiang Shun was deeply moved.

However, what was unexpected was that Shen Zhiyi had just finished speaking, and before Jiang Shun could respond, Shen Zhiyi turned around and left again.

The master is leaving now?

Jiang Shun was completely bewildered. His stomachache hadn't subsided yet, so he could only stare at the air in silence, "..."

It came, but it seemed not to come.

Ji Qingyi had not yet finished wiping Tao Jiuxi's sweat with the handkerchief in his hand, when he turned around, he saw that Shen Zhiyi had returned.

"You've finished reading it now?" Ji Qingyi was surprised.

"Jiang Shun is fine, he just has a stomachache. Let me do it." Shen Zhiyi said as he reached out and took the handkerchief from Ji Qingyi's hand, washed it twice, and then continued to wipe the sweat off Tao Jiuxi.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyi shook his head helplessly, secretly complaining in his heart: I wonder if he saw Jiang Shun's appearance clearly and came back.

Soon, a steaming hot medicinal bath was brought into the house.

After Shen Zhiyi confirmed that the water temperature was suitable, he placed Tao Jiuxi in the potion and soaked her. Tao Jiuxi remained quietly in the potion for two hours before the remaining poison in her body gradually faded away.

At the same time, Ji Qingyi was not idle either. After a meticulous investigation, he finally found out the cause of the poisoning.

It turned out that the materials used by the person performing the "blood rain" contained hidden toxins. Tao Jiuxi has always been in frail health and had poor resistance, so the symptoms after being poisoned were the most serious.

When Tao Jiuxi woke up, it was already early morning.

Shen Zhiyi was lying beside her with his clothes on. Tao Jiuxi just made a slight noise and Shen Zhiyi was instantly awakened from his light sleep.

"Axi, you're awake?!" Shen Zhiyi's voice was full of surprise.

However, after Tao Jiuxi woke up, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

She subconsciously avoided Shen Zhiyi's fiery gaze and turned her head to the other side in panic. The movement was a bit hasty and a bit embarrassed.

"What happened? Why did it turn around?" Shen Zhiyi was a little confused. He gently hugged Tao Jiuxi from behind, trying to comfort her.

But Tao Jiuxi's body suddenly froze and did not move.

Shen Zhiyi noticed something was wrong and quickly turned over and lay down opposite Tao Jiuxi.

But Tao Jiuxi immediately turned around and tried to avoid it.

Shen Zhiyi was quick-witted and grabbed her body as she was about to turn around.

Seeing that he could no longer escape, Tao Jiuxi asked cautiously like a child who had done something wrong: "Before I fainted, was I...was I talking nonsense?"

Shen Zhiyi suddenly realized that this was what made her uneasy.

"You mean the past life you mentioned?"

"Did I say that?" Tao Jiuxi actually remembered it, but didn't dare to admit it. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes and his lips were slightly pursed.

"Axi, I want to know, I want to understand everything about you. If possible, can you tell me?" Shen Zhiyi's eyes were sincere and honest.

Upon hearing this, Tao Jiuxi looked up at Shen Zhiyi, opened his lips but made no sound.

The idea of ​​time travel was too unbelievable. She was conflicted as to whether Shen Zhiyi could accept such an absurd and bizarre story.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyi didn't force it, but instead asked with concern: "How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just feel a little tired." Tao Jiuxi answered softly, his voice as thin as a mosquito.

"After such a long time, it's normal to feel tired. Thanks to Miss Xue's timely arrival, everyone is fine now." Shen Zhiyi said as he gently tidied Tao Jiuxi's messy hair.

"Sister Xue is here?"

"Ah."

A sense of loss quietly arose in Shen Zhiyi's heart. He longed to know everything about Tao Jiuxi. In his opinion, their relationship had already developed to the point where they should be completely open with each other and should be indistinguishable from each other.

"Ayi, I..." Tao Jiuxi opened his mouth, but the words seemed to be choked in his throat, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Shen Zhiyi's eyes were full of anticipation, his gaze fixed on Tao Jiuxi. However, after waiting for a moment, Tao Jiuxi did not continue speaking.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi struggling like this, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but move closer and kiss her lips gently. This kiss was full of comfort and heartache, carrying all his tender love for her. After a long time, he slowly said: "I love you."

Shen Zhiyi stared quietly at Tao Jiuxi's slightly pale face, and Tao Jiuxi's words before he fainted kept echoing in his mind.

She seemed to have suffered a lot in her past life, and even died alone at the end. He wanted to know how much pain Tao Jiuxi had endured, and he wanted to share that pain with her.

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, she felt as if her heart was struck by lightning. She thought to herself that if she didn't say it out loud, perhaps the worries and doubts in Shen Zhiyi's heart would grow like weeds. She was afraid that there would be a gap between them over time. Today was a good opportunity, so she spoke slowly.

"Ayi, last year I accidentally hit my head and had a very long dream..."

Tao Jiuxi recounted her experience as if it were a dream. When she finished, Shen Zhiyi felt extremely distressed.

He didn't say those flowery words of comfort, because in his opinion, any words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. He secretly made up his mind to be Tao Jiuxi's safe haven in this life, to be her support, to let her share the good times and to block the difficulties.
